Hurricane Sandy has yet to make landfall and already
hundreds of thousands of people on the East Coast are without power. Sittin’ around
waiting for your own lights to start flickering? Don’t dread the power outage,
rock it! Here’s how:

Roast marshmallows over a candle flame

Re-read your favorite children’s book

Gather your sibs or nearby buds and put on a talent show

Create your own music videos for your favorite songs.
Perform live for your parents, or record on your cell

Before ya lose power, bake off a batch of sugar cookies and
prep icing. Dye it different colors using food coloring and decorate if and
when the lights go out. Get creative with your stockpiled Halloween candy and
anything in your cupboards.

Grab a plain sweater or t-shirt, a needle and thread and
your craft box and start jazzing up your wardrobe. Find inspiration HERE.

Pull out the old Scrabble board and challenge yourself with
a themed round. Harry Potter vs. Twilight words? You bet!

Park yourself in front of a mirror and polish up your
waterfall braid skills
